Hi Barbra. You'll need to run the document through an OCR package like fine reader or Omnipage. If your thilthy rich *big smiley*, you could run it through Open Book or Kurzweil too. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Wilson To: Access-UK Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 8:06 AM Subject: [access-uk] Adobe I think this has been discussed before, but what can you do when you download an Adobe PDF file and it says !Alert: Empty Document"? Of course the document is not empty, but that is what JAWS says. I know from before that if you print it you can then scan, but is there a way of reading it without printing? I've tried saving as a text file, but still it appears empty.
